And I just want to work with good directors and good people.
Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along.
I bought a house, and I've been decorating it.
I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage.
I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.
I have 60 years to make the money, but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career.
I have lived in Los Angeles for four years and I have been in night clubs three times and two movie premieres. I just don't get involved.
I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music.
I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult.
I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere.
I'm an Eminem fan, he's a good MC but I like Wu Tang Clan, they're more my flavour.
I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon.
I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early.
I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.
If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.
If I'd seen a grown man beating a crippled boy, of course I'd intervene. If my father died and left my mother destitute, it's your instinct to take care of her. So when I started to think about it in those terms, it started to make sense to me.
In a work capacity I'm only interested in acting and producing.
In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet.
In the wake of September 11 and all the other things that have been going on I was a little disheartened by the state of the world. I felt that humanity was in grave jeopardy and that it would be nice to do something like this that has a good message about compassion, virtue and manner.
It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.
It's generally more fun playing the villain.
No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs.
So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity.
The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.
There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions.
There are so many opportunities in LA.
They cast me because I was known from a TV show and had a big American film coming out. Even English films are geared towards American audiences.
To which I reply - no different from doing straight sex scenes. There's no feeling there and it's really weird with everyone standing around watching.
